What Causes A Dark Yellow Urination?
I notice my urine has an unusual order and is dark yellow color. I thought I was having a lower back ache and have felt very tired and at times am nauseus. I am wondering if I might have kidney infection, bladder problem or what. Of course I am 80 which can account for my being tired and no pep. I have been drinking cranberry juice as I have heard that can help urinary tract infection.????

Hello,
The dark colour of urine could be due to less intake of water or due to intake of B complex vitamins or due to jaundice also.
Similarly unusual odour could be due to concentrated urine because of less water or some kidney infection or even due o presence of proteins in it.
The best way is to get a simple urinalysis done which would tell everything.
Consume more of plain water.
Thanks
